A member asked:

Is it safe to take expired adhd meds?

Probably: Depending on the med, most just begin to lose potency over time and become less predictable in their effectiveness. They are not likely to become toxic.

No: Medication decays slowly over time and the expiration date is there to protect you. Risks of taking an expired medication doesn't outweigh the benefits. If you are thinking about restarting your medication program visit your MD to review your options. Medicine can be helpful if used correctly - don't take risks please.
